Plaid Cymru have rejected a proposal for its members to enter a coalition with the Conservatives to run Conwy council - throwing the local authority into turmoil.

Plaid’s Conwy Council leader Gareth Jones, a former Assembly Member, this week announced an executive to run the authority which has five Conservatives, four Plaid Cymru councillors and one Independent.

But Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said any deal would need to ratified by the party’s National Executive.
